Laurie told me about your adventure in January and as a Mom of two girls, a lot of thoughts ran through my head – most involving worry about such an adventure, two guys two bikes and how far are they going??? But then it struck me, this is an adventure of a life time for two young guys – HOW COOL is that??? She told me when you reached certain places and I couldn’t imagine – the whole time I’ve be doing whatever… you’d been on your bike, going somewhere – wow. So she came into work this Monday just bubbling about two of the newest IRONMEN, sent me the link here and dared me to read without shedding a tear. I have to tell you that your story, your writing of the race and your adventure is one of the most inspiring things I’ve read in a long time. I sent the link on to my 13 and 15 year old daughters – I hope they feel that inspiration and someday find an adventure that is fitting for them, whatever that maybe. Congratulations to you both – you are different people today than when you left in January and I hope you feel so incredibly confident that there is Nothing in this life you cannot do. Congrats and welcome back home !!!

I’m the GU gal from the expo, and was looking forward to hearing how the race went for you both! I teared up at the end of your story. “WOW” is all I have to say. Congratulations Ironman!

You have been an inspiration to more than you can possibly know. Having known your family for all of your life and longer, this is a testiment to the power the Lord has within all of you. Congratulations!!

I’m a friend of the Countess and doing the Ironman has been a dream of mine. The furthest distance I’ve ever gotten is Olympic in a tri. YOU are an inspiration. As you described your feelings, I completely and totally understand. Anytime a finish line comes in sight, and your body is literally screaming, the feeling that you know you have finished is something that is hard to describe! I agree with the others that Jason was a Godsend. We all need someone during or race of life to pull us through the hard times, and the Lord sends them just when we need them.
Well done Taylor. I don’t even know you, but am incredibly proud of you. Wish I had driven down to St George to have watched you conquer.

PS. I work at a Running Store in SLC and we rented many of the wet suits that were there, and we heard the stories about the swim. My heart breaks for those that people that got pulled. Their training and dreams crushed in a white cap. You finished and you finished strong – that speaks volumes!
